First
let's be clear on what deception is. And who but "The
Master of Lies" could
better describe
deception. The quote below is from An
Interview With "The Devil,"
page 47:
|
.
Let
me assure you that any preconceived notions you may have about who or
what I am -- about how I might look or act are totally
false. I am the greatest master of disguises, lies,
illusions, cons, and manipulations your world has ever
seen. I am an actor extraordinaire. I could
win Academy Awards Oscars for best actor, best actress, best
supporting actor, and best supporting actress all at the same time,
and never break a sweat.
Nobody,
and I mean nobody, expects me to be who I am. Nobody
expects me to look as I look. Nobody expects me to act as
I do. Humans are incredibly easy to scam because they
rarely ever think for themselves and because they have a ridiculous,
cartoon-character image of me as an idiot with horns and a
pitchfork. So long as I don’t look like that cartoon
character, or look otherwise grotesque, most humans never see me
coming, and here's why.
Lies,
deception, and cons are my games. Depravity, Sleaze, and
Corruption, are my middle names. Trickery, fraud, and hoaxes are
my calls to fame. I could sell snake oil to a snake oil
salesmen, so don’t try to second-guess me or to put any
expectations between us. I guarantee that, if you do, you’ll
not only be wrong, you’ll also miss the essence of what I have to
offer you.
If
you'll think for just one moment, it will become obvious to you that
no devil worth his salt would ever come out as an evil
one. All I have to do to create havoc and destruction here
on Earth is to disguise myself as a promoter of what seems like a good
cause.
I
simply gather together a flock of mindless Would-Be Do-Gooders, and
then, from a sacred place of trust and power and in the name of
righteousness or some other illusion, I shower evil upon all
mankind.
I've
pulled this trick off thousands of times in the past, and at
this very moment, I'm doing it right now, in dozens of different ways,
right under your noses, and the vast majority of humans simply don't
see it.
I'll
give you a hint. Look into the concentrations of
power. Look into your governments, your multi-national
corporations, and your religious institutions. Look at
what they are attempting to sell you. Look at what they are
attempting to get you to believe, and follow this maxim:
"By their fruits shall you know them."
Look under the surface facade and see what things
like: religious fanaticism --The Patriot Act --The Federal
Reserve -- the anti-abortion war -- the anti-drug war -- and several other strongly supported
causes are actually bringing to humanity.

Hiding
a Demon: Now that you understand what's possible, may I ask you
a question? If you were intending to deceive the public, where would
you hide you agents?
Would
you dress them in grotesque bodies and parade them around? Of course
not! Would you announce that you are here to deceive and
manipulate? Of course not! Would you hide them under a
bushel or under a rock? Of course not! You'd hide
them in plain site disguised as something good and wonderful.
.
Hiding
in Plain Site: Do you recall the words of Jesus, "Be wary
of wolves in sheep's clothing."? How hard would it be for Satan to
hide a dozen or so of his agents in the ranks of the honorable, loving, and
dedicated followers of God's word and then present these purveyors of
darkness as supporters of this or that seemingly wonderful and righteous
cause?
.
Announcing
His Arrival: Do you think Satan would tell us when and where
he's going to set up shop? That seems highly unlikely. Are
you familiar with the con artist trick called Diverting
Attention?"
Some people are saying Satan will arrive in Europe very soon as one super-bad
individual human being. Is
that the truth or is that a trick to fool people.
Is
it possible that he could be already here? Is it possible that Satan
could be hiding in plain site right here in Unites States. Is it
possible that he is not in just one human body, but could be hiding
in several bodies. Is it possible that he could be disguised as
several
promoters of what, on the surface, seems like
a wonderfully good cause?
How would you know if
Satan were
here? He's not going to show up wearing horns and carrying
pitchfork. He's not going to look like Dracula, or the Incredible
Hulk, or space invaders from Mars. He's not going to set up a store front and put a sign in the
window. Perhaps you think he's
given up and gone away? That, too, seems highly
unlikely. OK, then where is he? How do we find out where is he's hiding?
Fruits
...
By
Their Fruits: Do you also recall Jesus'
words, "By their fruits ye shall know them."? Can you think of
any causes that are using the following tactics to promote something they say is
wonderful?

diseases each and every day?
.
Does
any of this sound like God's work?
"By
their fruits shall you know them."

Birds
of a Feather...
It's also very easy to see what someone's character is like by examining the company they keep. Watch the people they associate with. As
the old saying goes, "Birds
of a feather flock together."
